2 thoughts on “Five Random Things That Make Me Very Very Happy”
Jeph Loeb’s popularity (particularly with Marvel editorial who have now given him Ultimate FF and X-Men) confuses me. His work with Tim Sale was ok, even if the origin stories were virtually the same take done with different characters. He was on books that sold well, which had Jim Lee on them and/or had DC’s biggest characters. Not that they were very good but they sold well. The work he’s done at Marvel so far has been pretty atrocious. Emperor’s new clothes syndrome as far as I can tell.
He seemed to be very popular in the 90s, but then comics were shit in the 90s and he might have stood out then. His work at DC, prior to hopping ship to Marvel, was good twice (I liked Hush and most of the first Superman/Batman arc), but then fell apart in the most unusual way. I really can’t understand it.
